    Clever! Now you only carry one wrench in the toolbox. Years ago, I worked in a custom fabrication shop. We modified tools all the time to fit job specific needs. We even had a bone yard of old worn-out power and machine tools that we would use to build custom job specific power and machine tools. It was a third-generation business; lots of old worn-out tools to tinker with.

    Interesting! The title is misleading because it implies that the hole was intended by the manufacturer for that use. Fabrication of a crescent wrench end into a chain wrench is what actually happened. I as a former mechanic have likewise fabricated tools at times, so kudos to Alva Welding for his creativity. I have used that end of a crescent wrench for increased leverage on a tight bolt by slipping the hole over a jaw of the open end of a combination open end and boxed end wrench. You can also use another wrench to do this by putting the boxed end of it over one of the jaws of the wrench being turned.

    I would’ve chosen a pipe wrench for that job.

    A bigger wrench would do it as the experts point out in comments, but this actually looks very useful for my present problem: getting the nut for the front shock absorber off a strut. Can't use heat, the nut is not of proper shape for a wrench (has some flat surfaces, special tool was meant to be used which i don't have). Definitely going to try this. Might have to weld the chain to the nut.

    Your hook you ended up with is backwards for any real grip! Also the hole in the wrench you destroyed were for hanging the Crescent wrench on the wall, so it’s always handy where you needed it

    I'll give you points for drilling through hardened steel. although I'm guessing it took about 15 drill bits.

    I always wondered what that loop was for. Now I know it was meant for me to cut it off and use it like that. 🤷 Learn something new every day.
